I made an adapter gizmo with resistors and diode. Re-booted (just as a precaution), and simulated power-fail and low-battery. Still, my system won't shut down. I verified that the daemon is running with genericups 5.
It does not seem right that upsc and upsct fail, as below:
alta@alta1:~> upsc localhost Unable to get variable list - Receive timeout alta@alta1:~> upsct localhost Unable to connect to localhost - Connection failure: Connection refused
Hmmm, I wonder why they would have trouble with localhost. Like port numbers not matched, or blocked. I'm not real knowledgable in this area.
I'm too new to Linux to be of any help either. Maybe someone else on the list will see this and have some info. If you haven't done so, you might find something at http://www.exploits.org/nut/. There is a genericups FAQ there I believe. There are also some UPS mailing lists mentioned. -- Regards, Malcolm KMail l.3.1 -- KDE 2.2.2 -- SuSE Linux 7.3 Remove the dots to email me
